<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So today is a bad day for
target-platforms: some changes were requested and applied after TP
was released. We'll investigate whether those changes were
actually necessary and if they are worth a TP respin.<br>
<br>
But please, do anticipate required TP change! We cannot afford to
change TP on the day of a code freeze, that's a risky operation
that slows us down our reduce our ability to ship on time and
increase the risk of respins for QA.<br>
The date of target-platform releases are on the JBDS-Tech
calendar. Make sure your requests get it on time.<br>
<br>
Although many supposed urgent changes were applied to
4.40.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT (and may issues created/revealed as a side
effect), all that just shows that urgent changes in TP are not
good at all.<br>
So my plan/with is still to use 4.40.0.Beta2 if possible.
Depending on the criticity of the issues those changes try to fix,
we can think about building a 4.40.0.Beta3 TP for JBoss Tools
4.2.0.Beta2. But that clearly is a bad thing because it would make
the code-freeze more complex (master currently testing against
Beta3-SNAPSHOT whereas it will be branched and built against Beta2
or maybe Beta3, we don't know yet....))<br>

This needs to be discussed. Maybe it could be in a respin? Or just
dropped out of Beta2 and get back in Beta3<br>

This is far from being a blocker for Beta2.<br>

@Victor:<br>
Is this really necessary? What blocker for beta2 was this change
supposed to fix? Couldn't you keep on depending on previous version
of tern.java for 4.2.0.Beta2 ?<br>
How come you didn't request it earlier (before TP 4.40.0.Beta2 was
released)<br>
